Howie is a spirited, 18lb dachshund mix currently residing in Germantown, MD. He is a little over eight years old and loves walks and belly rubs. He came to us due to a change of circumstances for his previous owner that meant they could no longer give him the time and attention he deserves. Howie has been well cared for and is looking for a new home with lots of love to give.

Environment

Howie is house-trained and crate trained. He’s very alert and does speak back if he hears noises so he won’t suit apartment living or shared walls. Howie loves to run around and explore his foster's yard, so a fenced yard would be great but is not mandatory. A leash is mandatory when Howie is not in a fenced yard. He’d be ok without someone home all day as long as he gets adequate attention in the evenings.

Pets & People

Howie is a little choosy around new friends and would most likely do best in a home with one person. In his foster home he gets on well and plays with one of the dogs but tries to dominate the other. Howie would be okay as an only dog. He isn’t particularly food protective, but he will snaffle any treat that enters his vicinity. Howie likes attention and jumps up a lot to get it and would likely knock over small children, but he does like children. Mostly he wants to say hi and be petted. 

Health

Howie is on medication for anxiety, and he takes it twice a day.
